Reading the Holy Qur'an and repeating Athan (the call to prayer)

Question:
When I am reading the Qur'an then I hear Athan (the call to prayer), should I stop reading immediately to repeat Athan?
The answer:
When a Muslim hears the call to prayer he should immediately leaves everything and repeats it, even if we are talking or reading the Qur'an, A'isha (may God be pleased with her) said in the famous narration:
"The Messenger of Allah used to talk to us, sit with us and laugh and joke with us, when he hears the call to prayer, he immediately leaves to prayer as if he doesn’t know us and we don’t know him."
She also narrated after the prophet (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him):
"The prophet used to be in the service of his family and if he hears the call to prayer he goes out (to prayer)." Saheeh Al-Bukhary after A'isha.
Why? Because repeating Athan is obligatory, when it is finished we can continue talking. This is a problem we hope every Muslim in all government offices repeat Athan when they hear it, it is just two minutes and after that we can complete talking again because talking is endless 
but we must repeat Athan.
